A fiery winter sunset provides the backdrop for NS D36, the local from Bloomington, IL to Decatur, IL, on its run southbound. Two SD40-2s lead D36 through rural farm country on what used to be 50 mph territory. Last summer, however, the entire Bloomington District was downgraded to 25 mph.

An ongoing and growing collection of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome, but seldom seen beauty of the railroad world because most of us don't get out after sundown. From dusk to dawn, lights are on! (And I continue to find new "Lights In The Night"!)
